Earlier in the year, there was some debate as to whether cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, would be replacing gold as an alternative currency. At the time, the price of gold and Bitcoin were trading in opposite directions of one another; Bitcoin had spent the month of December 2017 exploding in parabolic fashion to a value of ,000 per coin. At the same time, gold had seemingly lost all of its luster hovering just over 113,100. As we head into mid-2018, we are in a completely different environment. We are still seeing the price of gold and Bitcoin trading in opposite directions, but this time it is gold that is shining and Bitcoin is struggling to prove its value to the markets. Going forward, we tend to believe both gold and Bitcoin will become more positively correlated. Specifically, both quasi-currencies will likely suffer as the greenback gains value.

In the latest edition of Carley Garner's beginners' book on commodities, she details everything you need to know about futures and options trading before placing a trade.

In their quest for trading commodities profitably, beginning traders spend a substantial amount of time studying market theory, various types of market analysis, and paper-trading in the futures and options markets. Yet, almost all of them fail to take the necessary steps to ensure their trading environment is conducive for the profits they seek. A Trader’s First Book on Commodities aims to fill the void in trading literature that overlooks the importance in making the right decisions before ever placing a commodity trade such as fully understanding market mechanics and logistics, choosing a proper trading platform, understanding order types, being aware of market data fees and policies, how to quote and calculate profit or loss in each of the commodity markets, preparing for margin calls, and the only magic in trading–humility.

A Trader’s First Book on Commodities is guaranteed to shorten the learning curve for beginning traders while offering seasoned traders a new perspective on familiar topics. There is more to trading than computer-generated oscillators and trendlines; choosing the wrong trading platform, brokerage, or order type can do more harm to a trading account than choosing the wrong technical indicator.

"Trading commodities is a game of mental stability; without the proper understanding of the futures and options markets and the ability to remain calm, it is difficult to make rational trading decisions. The goal of this book is to enable traders to create a trading environment lacking peripheral distractions or stress which, in turn, mitigates emotions and improves the odds of trading success. In short, the third edition of A Trader’s First Book on Commodities is everything you need to know and do before you ever place a trade." - Carley Garner, Author

In this video we talk about how traders can reduce futures market leverage and volatility via account funding, and offer tips and tricks to commodity market speculation, choosing a commodity trading strategy, and trade rules to live (or die) by.

Increase the odds of Success in Commodity Option Selling

The practice of option selling is a controversial strategy for commodity option traders to partake in. Many brokerage firms outright forbid the practice; others allow it, but there are often strings attached. However, there are a limited number of brokerage services that recognize despite the challenges of option selling, it likely offers the highest long-term prospects for successful trading. Accordingly, such brokers give their clients the freedom to implement a short option strategy. We are a part of the minority commodity brokers that believe our clients should be given the opportunity to sell options without hassle. Nevertheless, option selling is far from an “easy-money” venture; there is a reason many brokerage firms shy away from option selling.
